E-Tangata

E-Tangata is an independent website that aims to strengthen the Maori and Pasifika voice in the New Zealand media. Run by the Mana Trust it attracts a high calibre of contributing media, political, business and educational authors to its pages.

Launched in 2014 the website attracted large audiences to content that was published on the site sporadically over the week (due to schedules of the contributing writers). Mid 2015 saw the Mana Trust undertake a content strategy audit and the site relaunched as a weekly Sunday magazine. The strategy paid off immediately with current analytics showing a 1,500% increase in monthly users and page views over the same period 12 months ago.

A contributing factor to the success of the Sunday strategy is the responsive nature of the website.
